I just turned my PowerBook on tonight, and I've got these crazy blue/purple blotches all over my desktop. The blotches are fuzzy and blinking.

What is wrong with my PowerBook?

Recently I've also been experiencing problems with my date and time when I turn the computer on. It tells me that the date is set before March 2001.
I was told to bring my PowerBook into the Apple store for this problem in another thread, but I havent' had a chance yet.

hey.. i have the same problem with the purple blotches.. ive had this problem for a year or so.. it's been a month since the last post so hopefully you resolved this issue... if so can you tell me what the problem is? im no longer under the apple care so maybe im screwed?

well.. i looked it up and reset the PRAM.... (i still dont really know what it is).. but low and behold... the purple blotches returned.... blah.. and i read about the PMU but doesn't that reset everything on my mac? like... erase everything? arghh. i juss wanna get rid of these annoying blotches that come up from time to time...
